Supplemental Figure S1. For a more wetting surface, contact angle versus the radius of the droplet on a flat surface from p2D droplet DFT solutions with x=3 (diamonds), p2D droplet DFT solutions using the LJ potential with x=2 (circles), and DFT solution free energies with Young’s equation (solid line). The value of x is a parameter in the contact angle calculation of droplets.

Supplemental Figure S2. Isodensity surfaces ( =0.5) for a 3D droplet using LJ potential on a surface with s = d = h =5. Two views are shown, with and without the pillars rendered. Contact angles are as follows: Droplet A = 146°; Droplet B = 131°; Droplet C = 114°; Droplet D =83°.

Supplemental Figure S3. Top panel has the local contact angles of a pseudo 2D drop versus Z (the short dimension) for both the left side (points) and right side (lines) of five different droplet simulations using LJ potential where the value of the average fluid density was varied. The droplets are on the pattern in shown in Figure 3A with s = d = h = 5. Bottom panel has the contact angles for droplets on the pattern in Figure 3B.
